Jane Lynch has officially filed for divorce from her wife Dr. Lara Embry.
The Glee star and her spouse of three years announced they were splitting last month, and she filed papers to legally end their marriage in Los Angeles County Court on Friday. The 52-year-old actress cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the couple's split and stated that they have been separated since February, according to gossip website TMZ.com.
After announcing their split in June, Jane released a statement insisting she and Lara still "care very deeply" about one another. "Lara and I have decided to end our marriage. This has been a difficult decision for us as we care very deeply about one another. We ask for privacy as we deal with this family matter," she added.
They first met in 2009 at a fundraiser in San Francisco, California, at which Lara, 44, was receiving an honor. The pair got engaged in 2010 and got married on Memorial Day the same year in an intimate ceremony in Sunderland, Massachusetts.

Nick Stahl has been arrested for alleged possession of crystal meth.
The troubled Terminator 3: Rise of the Machine actor was arrested along with three other people by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) in a Hollywood motel at 5am on Friday morning, according to TMZ. The police went to the motel to conduct a parole compliance check one of the other people and Nick was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
This is the latest blow for the star who was arrested for allegedly committing a "lewd act" at a porn shop in Los Angeles in December, an incident he claimed was a "misunderstanding." Nick was arrested by undercover vice officers for the LAPD at the store after they allegedly discovered him "touching himself" in a private booth.
He was also reported missing in May 2012 and again the following month. After his fist disappearance he re-emerged and was admitted to a rehabilitation clinic. However, he walked out of the facility and went to stay with a pal but was again reported missing when he failed to return to the friend's home.

Justin Bieber has been cleared of being involved in a hit and run accident in Los Angeles.
The 19-year-old singer was investigated and interviewed for a few hours after a photographer allegedly suffered minor injuries from being pinned against another car by the singer's white Ferrari on Monday night. A source told gossip website TMZ.com that the "All Around The World" hitmaker was leaving the Laugh Factory on Sunset Boulevard at approximately 11:45 PM with his best friend, Lil Twist, when the photographer got pinned between his moving Ferrari and a parked car. The source insisted that Justin motioned at the group of photographers snapping pictures to move out of the way after he got behind the wheel of his super car but when he drove away he appeared to pin one of them between his car and another parked vehicle. Justin did not stop to see whether the photographer was okay but told police that he did not know he had hit anyone.

Denise Richards Has Cared for Brooke Mueller’s Twins for a Year

Denise Richards has been raising Brooke Mueller's kids for over a year.
The 42-year-old actress was granted temporary legal guardian for her ex-husband Charlie Sheen and Brooke's twin sons, Bob and Max, when child protective services removed them from the socialite's home last month. However, it has now emerged Denise - who has two daughters, Lola, eight, and Sam, nine, with Charlie - has actually spent far more time with the four-year-old boys than Brooke herself over the last nine months, due to her struggles with drug addiction.
"'Initially, Brooke willingly placed the boys in Denise's care because she was going in and out of rehab, and using drugs. Child protective services has now asked Denise to give specific dates that she had been taking care of the twins, in advance of a big custody hearing in July. The boys have spent more time with Denise than with their own biological mother for the last nine months. The boys are a part of Denise's family, and they are extremely happy in her care," a source said.

Beyonce Knowles has settled a $100 million lawsuit.
The 31-year-old singer has reached an agreement with videogame company Gate Five after allegedly backing out of a deal to create her own motion-capture dance game called Starpower: Beyonce.
Lawyers for both sides signed an agreement dismissing "all claims or counterclaims" without legal fees and filed the papers in Manhattan Supreme Court in New York on Friday. The gaming company's lawyer Peter Gallagher told the New York Post's Page Six, "We've settled amicably. I can't discuss the terms of the settlement, but it was resolved."
The "Love On Top" singer reportedly dropped out of the deal last winter because she claimed that Gate Five had not secured the funding they had promised. The company countered that the Grammy-winner ditched the deal on a whim and claimed it lost its nearly $7 million investment and 70 people lost their jobs. The terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Carrie Underwood and Husband Pulled Over for Speeding
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Sports, Legal Issues,
Carrie Underwood and her husband were pulled over for speeding yesterday.
The country music star and her ice hockey player spouse Mike Fisher were stopped by police officers after exceeding a 45 mile-per-hour speed limit and the 30-year-old beauty later poked fun at the situation on Twitter.
"Ok...so, Mr. ''I'm gonna start a driving school in Nashville'' just got us pulled over for going 56 in a 45. Just sayin... (sic)" she wrote on Twitter.
Defending his brush with the law, speed demon Mike, 33, claimed he was rushing home because the couple's pet pup had to go to the toilet. "@carrieunderwood not my fault Ace had to pee! (sic)" he wrote on the social networking site.
Ironically, just hours prior to the incident, Mike boasted about his motoring prowess and even posted "driving 101" tips on his Twitter account: "I think I may start a driver education school in Nashville. U could make a fortune: ) #drivingpetpeeves driving slow in the fast lane #drivingpetpeeves not moving halfway into the intersection when waiting to turn left at a green light #driving101 (sic)"

Chris Brown may be prosecuted over his fight with Frank Ocean.
The rival singers were involved in a brawl back in January after Frank was accused of blocking Chris' car from leaving Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles and despite previous reports the case had been closed, the "Turn Up the Music" hitmaker is still under a criminal battery investigation, according to website TMZ. Despite Frank, 25, not pressing charges against the singer, the Los Angeles County District Attourney's Office's file is still active and the incident could be named at Chris' probation review hearing later today.
Chris is still on probation after he beat ex-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009 and is also being investigated for an alleged hit-and-run incident which took place in Beverly Hills last month. He was reportedly never worried Frank would press charges against him after the confrontation, and the pair are said to have put their "misunderstanding" behind them.

Justin Bieber's bodyguards are being investigated for alleged battery.
The 19-year-old singer's security team have been accused of roughing up a fan, who tried to take a picture of Justin at a hookah lounge in Hollywood. A source told gossip website TMZ.com that one of the "Beauty and a Beat" hitmaker's bodyguards tried to stop the person, who was not a paparazzo, from taking photographs and a scuffle ensued.
The alleged victim called the police but Justin and his entourage were already gone by the time they arrived.
Law enforcement sources said that police have opened a misdemeanor battery investigation but that Justin is not a suspect as it's unclear whether he had any role in the incident.

Scarlett Johansson is suing a French publisher for using her name in a bestselling novel without her permission.
The 28-year-old actress is unhappy about being featured in the book, The First Thing We Look At, and is seeking compensation and damages from JC Lattes for "breach and fraudulent use of personal rights," and is also seeking a ban on "future transfer of rights and adaptations of the book."
The book's author Gregoire Delacourt told French newspaper Le Figaro that he is "stunned" that the actress is taking legal action against the book, which was published in France on March 20, because he claims, "this corresponds with the fantasies of our times." The novel reportedly tells the story of a mechanic who meets a woman in need, who he believes to be the Captain America: The Winter Soldier star because they look almost identical.

Jessica Simpson is being sued by a man, who claims she made it appear that his baby was her own.
Christopher Hurst has accused the Fashion Star mentor, who is set to give birth to her second child next month with her fiance Eric Johnson, of conspiring with OK! magazine to make money by posing for a photo with his son, which later appeared on the front cover of the publication.
According to court documents, obtained by The Times-Picayune in New Orleans, Christopher took his teenager daughter and baby boy to meet Jessica, 32, at a department store in October 2011, when the singer was pregnant with her daughter, Maxwell. The lawsuit claims that a stranger suggested that he let Jessica hold his son and Chris claims a photographer then came out of nowhere and started snapping pictures of the blonde beauty holding the infant. He says he was stunned when the images appeared on the front cover of OK! with headlines that made it appear his son was Jessica's child.
